Be Careful What Your Basset Hound Will Eat!
Last Friday, my wife came home from work to find our basset hound Lilly not looking too well. She looked kind of puny and weak. In fact her eyes seemed to be rolling in the back of her head. It looked very scary and really alarmed us. After looking around we found out that she had vomited a time or two throughout the house. This didn’t look good.
We called our veterinarian’s office and they instructed us to bring her in immediately. Our vet felt her stomach, drew blood and took her temperature. Everything was normal. Our vet suspected that she must have ate a bug or something and got a little nausea. He gave her a shot to help prevent the vomiting, sent us home and instructed us to monitor her the rest of the day. If the symptoms continued, we were to bring her in the next morning.
Good news! As soon as we got home, Lilly pepped up, went straight to her feeding bowl and pigged out! She was looking and feeling better and back to her usual silly self.
Now to get rid of some of those bugs in the backyard…
